Another Still Life Reference Photograph

Thought you might like to see two of my recent still life set ups I photographed in hopes of painting them soon. I photograph the flowers immediately after purchasing them before they have a chance to fade, like they would if I attempted to paint them from life--fading before I finished the painting. By taking photos of them while they are fresh, they are always at their best while I paint from the reference picture. Let me know which photo you like the best or any other comment you may have.
